Why is my YouTube video link rejected even though it meets the requirements?
To ensure your ad displays correctly, the video used in a YouTube campaign must be publicly available (Public) on YouTube.
If the video is set to:
- Private, or
- Unlisted
YouTube will not allow it to be used in advertising campaigns.
👉 Make sure the video’s privacy setting is set to “Public” before adding it to your ad.
